tidy3d.MeshOverrideStructure#

class tidy3d.MeshOverrideStructure(*, geometry: Union[tidy3d.components.geometry.base.Box, tidy3d.components.geometry.base.Transformed, tidy3d.components.geometry.base.ClipOperation, tidy3d.components.geometry.base.GeometryGroup, tidy3d.components.geometry.primitives.Sphere, tidy3d.components.geometry.primitives.Cylinder, tidy3d.components.geometry.polyslab.PolySlab, tidy3d.components.geometry.polyslab.ComplexPolySlabBase, tidy3d.components.geometry.mesh.TriangleMesh], name: str = None, type: Literal['MeshOverrideStructure'] = 'MeshOverrideStructure', dl: Tuple[Optional[pydantic.v1.types.PositiveFloat], Optional[pydantic.v1.types.PositiveFloat], Optional[pydantic.v1.types.PositiveFloat]], enforce: bool = False)#

Bases: tidy3d.components.structure.AbstractStructure

Defines an object that is only used in the process of generating the mesh. A MeshOverrideStructure is a combination of geometry Geometry, grid size along x,y,z directions, and a boolean on whether the override will be enforced.

Parameters

  • geometry (Union[Box, Transformed, ClipOperation, GeometryGroup, Sphere, Cylinder, PolySlab, ComplexPolySlabBase, TriangleMesh]) – Defines geometric properties of the structure.

  • name (Optional[str] = None) – Optional name for the structure.

  • dl (Tuple[PositiveFloat, PositiveFloat, PositiveFloat]) – [units = um]. Grid size along x, y, z directions.

  • enforce (bool = False) – If True, enforce the grid size setup inside the structure even if the structure is inside a structure of smaller grid size. In the intersection region of multiple structures of enforce=True, grid size is decided by the last added structure of enforce=True.

Example

>>> from tidy3d import Box
>>> box = Box(center=(0,0,1), size=(2, 2, 2))
>>> struct_override = MeshOverrideStructure(geometry=box, dl=(0.1,0.2,0.3), name='override_box')
